Pros: Good work-life balance. You can get your work done effectively without worrying about how many hours you spend working.
Cons: Sometimes you wonder if your career is progressing in the right direction because the direction the company is taking may impact innovation in some niche engineering areas. You could start off working on nice projects and end up being a program manager working with PowerPoints because these projects have moved to cheaper geo-locations.

Unequal Opportunities, Poor Management

Pros: If you are one of the LGBTQ persons, you will do well at Intel. For normal people, it's a terrible company. You will be passed over for promotions and good raises.
Cons: No downside if you are one of the LGBTQ persons.
One thing that really stands out is that the senior management doesn't really know what they are doing, so the company lacks a clear vision. This leads to people below just going whichever direction they feel like.
Furthermore, senior management gets involved in geopolitics, and that often hurts or completely destroys business opportunities around the globe.
